My husband & I have loved watching birds enjoy our
bird-feeders & birdhouses for some time now. We had a pair of Carolina
Chickadees that stayed with us for over a year before taking off for greener
pastures (ie: have I told you that one of our dogs is a bird dog?!). While I am not quite ready to invest in bird-watching binoculars, I
do want to continue to add to our collection. There is nothing like waking up in the morning to the sound of our little friends chirping!

To keep the squirrels
away, we use “Cajun” birdseed for all of our bird-feeders. If you have never
purchased Cole’s Hot Meats, you should know two things: 1. It is a bit expensive 2. It absolutely works. Bonus: the name makes me giggle :)

I recently purchased a glass hummingbird feeder that I will place right outside my bedroom window. Keeping the steep price of our regular birdseed in mind, I thought it might be nice to try to make
our own nectar for the hummingbird feeder. All you need is sugar & water,
(food coloring is optional).

I would love to share pictures of hummingbirds enjoying their yummy nectar but, what can I say? They are very fast & therefore hard to photograph! So, enjoy a few pics from my yard that celebrate Spring!
